AN INDEPENDENT FAMILY
ANNAPoLIs. Md, WEDNESDAY, EyENINe FEBRUARY %,


Not only should tho children Of
wealthy parents receive the most liberal
education that the country affords, but
they should be expected to make good
use of it in after life. AS professional
men, from complete immunity from the
cares incident to poverty, they should
deepen and widen the tracks that others
are prone to follow, and institute sys-
tematic reforms. AS men of state, far
removed from partisan strife, they should
draw their principles direct from history
and from science, and lay the founda-
tions Of an ideal government. As men
of letters they could afford to be con-
tent with nothing less than tho best,
whether in the manner or the matter of
their work. As men of science, not
obliged to make their Investigations yield
them pecuniary return, they, of ell
others, should devote themselves to the
pursuit of truth for its own sake, which,
paradoxical as it may sound, has always
proved the most important and really
practical of all human labor
Now, what the modern age demands
of those who possess wealth is that they
employ it in the proper direction OF their
activities. No right minded artisan be-
gTudges the millionaire his millions. The
manufacturer. the merchant, and even
the railroad king are stirring. industrious
men. They organize the production, cx-
change and distribution of wealth, and
are essential to society. So of other in
dustrial operations. Concentrated capital
is indispensable to their prosecution on
IN adequate scale. And those on whom
devolves the duty of conducting these
industries, and who accept and perform
this duty as responsible citizens, are not
envied nor denounced by sober minded
people, however widely their lots may
differ. But honest and industrious
people, those who with hand or brain
labor for society, create its wealth and
effect its proper distribution--all, in fact,
who really work-have a right to COM
plain that so much of the wealth of their
creation has fallen into the hands of idle
persons who despise every form Of labor,
even the ennobling pursuit of science,
art and authorship. They do not ask
them to take up the blacksmith's sledge,
the carpenters hammer or the mason s
trowel. They even prefer that they de-
vote themselves to higher and really more
useful labors-labors which their leisure,
means and independence peculiarly fit
them to perform thoroughly and well. L.

CircnmstantIal Evidence.

"A curious thing came to me in my
practice" said the professor. as he knock
ed the ashes from his cigar, "about three
years ago. The stomach of woman who
had died under suspicious circumstances
in Aikens, s. c., was sent me for exami-
nation. discovered large quantity OF
strychnine in the stomach, and made sew
eral crystals which | sent to the authori-
ties. Her husband was arrested accused
Of numbering her and convicted. About
that time | got letter from druggist,
who lived near Aiken, stating that the
quinine he was selling was producing very
strange effects, and asking me to analyzc
sample he sent me. did so and found
that it was almost half strychnine. / at
once thought of the man who was under
conviction in the Deighborhood for kill
ing his wife with strychnine, and thought
that he might have been unjustly accus-
ed. went To Aiken to ascertain the
facts

have ended in that way, but it didn't.
The man was clearly guilty, and had

Bachelor Oliver MeadsS Last VIII Gre.
ates a Disturbance Among Twelve
Families-Life Sometimes Not A
ssFI0Wery Mead.N
GREENWICH, March 27-The well known
old bachelor Oliver Mead, owner of the most
valuable land on Greenwich harbor, viz,
Field Point, died on Mach 10 at the age of
81 He had many relatives, and always de-
clined to sell any portion of his land. He
had determined, it is said, that after his
death this desire of his to hold mis- property
together should be respected, and, accord
ingly, in 1882 he had Daniel S. Mead, jr.,
thea the Judge of probate, draft document
which Friday was opened for public inspec-
ton by Judge George G. McNall, the lately
elected Democratic judge of probate.
By the provisions of this instrument only
about dozen of his many relatives are re-
membered, besides church and missionary
aocieties, and the remaining relatives who
are left out in the cold are talking of a law
suit to obtain what they call their 'family
rights" The following are the lucky lega-
tees
Thirty Thousand dollars to Daniel S. Mead,
jr, ex-j Judge of probate; $4,000 to Silas D.
Mead, s., 900 to Sarah NJ. Savage, So, 200 in
come to support clergymen of the North
Greenwich Congregational church, 5000 in
come to supp ort clergymen of the Second
Congregational Church society of Greenwich,
So, 900 to American Home Missionary society,
SC. 900 to Augustus I. Mead owner of the
Indian Harbor Hotel property, subject to
lease: Sc, 900 to Isaac H. Mead, So, 900 to
Seaman Mead and S., 900 to Zophar Mead,
sons of Colonel Thomas Mead; 81, 600 in
equal shares to Orphelia Long NOW deceased),
Anna II. Mead and Elizabeth ]. Mead; 81 geo
to Oliver M. Stafford, son of Jonas Stafford
of Cleveland, Ohio; $1,000 to the American
Bible society of the city of New York, 81 900
income to be applied by committee con-
sisting of three persons for maintenance of
the cemetery of the Second Congregational
Church society; 5000 to William K. Mead
Clause II of the will reads as follows: 81
give, devise, bequeath all my real estate,
wheresoever situated. including my burial
plot, all my stock and farming utensils on
said real estate, all my household furniture
of every description and all my wearing ap-
parel to Oliver D. Mead, brother of ex-Judge
of Probate Daniel S. Mead, jr., to him and to
his heirs forever. If the said Oliver d. Mead
should die without leaving any heirs, then In
that event give all my said real estate to
Augustus I. Mead, to him and to his heirs
forever.
Clause 10 gives all the residue to Silas D.
Mead, Oliver D. Mead and Daniel S. Mead,
jr., to be equally divided between them. If
there is not enough outside of Oliver d.
Mead's share to pay the legacies they are to
be raced pro rata.
There are twelve large Mead families in
Greenwich, Conn, descendants from the de-
ceased Oliver Mead's father and mother.

ated Charities.
(Communicated)
The tramp season is upon US. At no time
within year have so many idle, shiftless
Migrants infested our streets; maintained
during the day by food begged from door to
door, they spend their nights in the station
house, filthy, vermin- haunted, quarrelsome
and vicious. Since the 1st of March 613
have been lodged at the public expense to the
great annoyance of the police authorities and
the great discomfort of all legitimate occu-
pants of these premises. So long as our citi-
zens in the exercise of a well meaning but
mischievous good nature continue to feed
these Migrants, SO long the nuisance will con-
tinue. Send them to % Church street.
where the agent of the board of associated
charities will give them work and enable
them to earn their food. One object of this
organization is to protect the community
from imposition and yet provide for the de-
serving poor.
At the meeting of the board of directors
held March 25 the following action was ia
ken:
Resolved That we appeal to our citizens to re-
fran from giving food at their door to the swarm
asking them to send all such applicants to the wood
ward at 20 Church street.

West Haven.

West Haven borough voters in meeting
assembled voted to have a new street laid
out from First avenue to Water street, the
latter thoroughfare running down by the
shipyard. Richard street extends from Sec
ond avenue to First avenue. There is a
short street running from First avenue to
Water street, but it has never been graded or
worked. There has been desire to have
Richard street extended over nearly the
same. By strengthening the old street and
connecting it with Richard street, Water
street and Second avenue will be connected.
The meeting authorized the Strengthening
and building of the desired connection.
